Definition
Vegetable Oil Fuel is a biofuel made from plant fats.
Straight Vegetable Oil (SVO) is an unused, new oil, that is used alone or blended as a fuel in some converted diesel-engine vehicles.
Waste Vegetable Oil (WVO) is a reused oil that is discarded from a restaurant or other industry; filtered, it could be used like Straight Vegetable Oils (SVO) in a diesel vehicle.
Biodiesel is a non-petroleum fuel made from vegetable oils or animal fats, which can be used, alone or blended, in unconverted diesel-engine vehicles.
